El Centro’s Invasive Cardiovascular Technology Program

The Invasive Cardiovascular Technology program, one of three specialized imaging health programs offered through El Centro College, is a challenging, multifaceted course of study designed to produce well-trained, highly qualified medical professionals.

Graduates of our Invasive Cardiovascular Technology program consistently perform above the national average on the national board exam. In addition to being prepared to take the registered cardiovascular invasive specialist board, our program graduates are automatically awarded the limited medical radiology technology credential by the Texas State Board of Health.

In the associate degree program, the first year consists of the Invasive Cardiovascular Core Curriculum. Enrollment at this point is open, so you’ll need to apply only to El Centro College; no specific program application is required. Once you have completed the Invasive Cardiovascular Core Curriculum and any other prerequisites, you may formally apply to the ICVT program via a competitive selection process.
